Mimic Card

A mimic card provides a specific view of a process diagram associated with an asset. This allows you to monitor and control production equipment and processes.

The mimic card widget is available under Integration > HMI. When designing application pages, drag and drop GEMimicCard to a container.

The mimic card also allows you to update values during runtime, and get results immediately.

You can use the mimic card with or without a model. When not using a model, create pages and assign direct tags.

Mimic Card Properties

Field Name Description
Asset Name (Optional Override) Provide the asset name for which you want to replace its currently assigned mimic.
Note: You can opt to override either an asset name or a mimic name. If you attempt to override both, only the asset name is considered.
Mimic Name (Optional Override) Provide the mimic name to replace the currently assigned mimic. The new mimic must use only direct tags (not model-based) for its data sources. Also, the new mimic cannot use click-target navigation as the mimic has no context for navigation when loaded in this manner.
Note: If you do not specify an override for both the asset name or mimic name, then the mimic from the selected asset context in a breadcrumb is considered. When not using the breadcrumb in an application, it is mandatory to provide an override either for the asset name or the mimic name.
Height Allows to set the height of the widget at runtime. You can set the values in percent or pixels. For example, 100%, 50%, 300, etc.
